Anglicanism & Moral Challenges: Lecture Series 2008

The Church Club's lecture series for 2008, titled "Anglicanism and the Moral Challenges of the Day, will feature three addresses by three leading Anglican moral theologians.  Representing different traditions and approaches, they will speak about not simply what Anglicans should think about the moral questions of the day but how Anglicans should think morally.  All three are Episcopal priests and professionals in the field of moral theology.

All lectures will be held at Church of the Incarnation:

209 Madison Avenue (at 35th Street)

$60 for the series for Church Club Members, $75 for non-members

The Church Club spent an evening at the Cue Art Foundation in Chelsea, learning about the organization's support of young and under-recognized artists as they make their way in New York's rough-and-tumble art world.   The Club also welcomed prospective members, giving them an opportunity to learn about the Club's mission and programs.

Los Angeles-based artist Phranc, who works in  cardboard and craft paper (what she calls "a delicious medium"), spoke about her exhibit at Cue.  Reviewing the show, The New Yorker, wrote:

The post-punk folksinger is also an artist, who makes cardboard and kraft-paper constructions modelled on everyday objects like a red-and-white checked short-sleeved man’s shirt, a zipper-and-snap-bedecked motorcycle jacket, and a schlumpy bathrobe. This could be oppressively winsome if not for the production values; the pieces are expert while remaining patently handmade.

Special thanks are due to Club member Brian Starer, who is on the Cue Art Foundation's board of directors and is one of the founders of the organization, who helped make the evening possible.
